Bug Description

Hey, I use the hotkeys very often (to play, pause, stop, ...) the songs.

But I often do accidentally rename something in the library. E.g. I select a track and the library is opening this field to rename the title or the artist and now I want to start a track and the selected track in library was renamed to something.
I do not use the renaming feature in the library, I prefer using the properties and I would like to have an option to disable this feature to prevent me from having a lot of tracks called 'd', 'l' or something like this.

Thank you.

I do not think we should add a preference option for this. I think Mixxx should follow the convention from file manager applications to use the F2 key to start editing file metadata.

Fixed by adding an preferences option.
If active, double clicking on a track allows edits in the library table.
